Today is Holocaust Memorial Day – an internationally recognised day of commemoration. 

It is a solemn occasion, remembering the Nazi Holocaust during the Second World War, and raising awareness of the Holocaust around the World.

Visiting schools in my constituency is one of the highlights of my job as an MP. 

On 9th January I met with the Chancellor, Philip Hammond MP, to raise the crucial issue of the railway in the South West.

Just before Christmas, I published an email update to local supporters. I thought you might also like to see a copy. You can view it here. 

May I also take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy and fruitful 2017.

UTC Plymouth - Inspiring the next generation

Last Friday I visited Plymouth UTC (University Technical College).

On Friday 9th December, the Devon Chamber of Commerce hosted an event for their Members to meet and network with the city’s three Members of Parliament.

We all remember the storms of February 2014. When the rest of the country finally realised the vulnerability of the rail route into the South West.

Big week for the future of the South West

This week has seen three significant events in Westminster which will have a direct impact on the South West and those of us who live here.

I welcome the announcement today that the Government is investing an additional £10 million into the mainline between Exeter and Newton Abbot.
